Maya Le Tissier reacts to World Cup omission during England friendlies

Maya Le Tissier, a prominent footballer who played a key role in helping Manchester United secure second place in the 2022-2023 Women’s Super League, faced disappointment after being omitted from England's World Cup squad in 2023. Despite being named as a standby player and experiencing the tournament's spirit in Australia, she had hoped for a spot in the final team. Her versatility between centre back and right back has been a factor in her limited selection for England, as top talent competes for positions in those areas. The England manager, Sarina Wiegman, has indicated that Le Tissier's best opportunity lies in playing right back. Following her role as captain at Manchester United, Le Tissier now bears greater responsibility and is determined to showcase her abilities to secure a place in future national selections. As she aims for continued improvement, she emphasizes the importance of contributing to her club's success to bolster her chances with the national team in upcoming tournaments in Switzerland and beyond.
